Overnight camp for frei girls

[yaldah613]

Is there a chabad overnight camp for girls who know nothing? I know a girl whose 12 and has no jewish education whatsover besides for a few weeks in hebrew school before she stopped going, and a few weeks each summer in a gan izzy daycamp. Are there camps for girls like this? Please give names, locations, and websites if they have one.

ya, maybe for some girls.. but I'm not sure if it would work for the girl I have in mind. You think even for someone who can't read hebrew, doesn't know davening or anything like that? Also, I think following the dress code at emuna would be really hard for her.. she's not up to that yet.

what age is it for? like 15 and older? That would be the type of thing I'm looking for, but for younger girls- and probably less learning. basically a fun overnight experience with kids like her and good chassidishe role models. This is what she had at day camp but now she's too old for it. (btw- I'm just talking in general, obviously not for this summer or anything!)

I know, the girls who went there were completely not frum yet. Her Shliach would have to speak to them to find out what allowances can be made. AFAIR, one had a counselor who helped her during Davening, and I think she stuck to the dress code as far as she could.

ok, so maybe that would work. do you know of any others?

Yes, I believe that I can help you! In a town not far, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa there is a camp run by Rebbetzin Frumie Levittin called Bat Mitzvah Camp! They take a wide range of girls and half of them are from out of town! They have a girl who lives out in the Poconos and never learned anything Jewish in her life! Then they also have some more frummer girls. The camp starts next Wednesday and finishes the following Thursday. It is asociated with Bais Menachem who's director is R. Uri Perlman. His home number is (570) 288-6580.
Office: (570) 970-2480. or (570) 970 2481. E-mail: uri*baismenachem.com

that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for! I don't think it would work for this summer because she already has plans for this summer but do you know if they're planning on doing it again next summer?

beis chana does do diff. activities, it might take 15 year olds, but as a minimum age.

First step is not the judge if they are frum or frie. It makes a huge difference in the way you act to them.

Second step is to find a camp.

camp emunah: http://campemunah.com

Also There is a Lubavitcher from Iowa that does a three week summer tour program called Teva Tours :

Teva Tours, the exciting traveling camp for 8th grade girls and above from all over the United States, has opened registration for this year’s adventure to Yellowstone, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and Grand Canyon National Park.
Under the auspices of Lubavitch of Iowa and the direction of Chayala Gourarie, the camp combines daily shiurim with the exquisite vistas of some of our most spectacular national treasures. “The girls learn to ‘rough it’ and gain a profound appreciation of Ma Godlu Ma’asecho Hashem at the same time – certainly a winning combination”, declared Rabbi Yossi Jacobson, director of the Judaic Resource Center of Lubavitch of Iowa.
For more information you can e-mail the camp administration * yosselg*yahoo.com or call 718-953-0739.
